"Come, all you who are thirsty, come to the waters; and you who have no money, come, buy and eat!
Come, buy wine and milk without money and without cost. Why spend money on what is not bread, and your labour on what does
not satisfy? Listen, listen to me, and eat what is good, and your soul will delight in the richest of fare." Isaiah 55: 1-2
It is only when I accept to let go of my security blankets that I am open to let God fill me. What God wants to give me
costs absolutely nothing, but it is not cheap. It requires that I be willing to empty myself of anything that might prevent
me from receiving what God has to give me. God only fills me in as much as I have space in my life to receive what he has
to give.
“In the midst of (his) darkness, Jesus leapt into
the abyss, knowing
that at the bottom, the Father was a waiting for him with open
arms . . .
The Father did not save him from death, but
immediately rescued him from its power

When God is in control, life is the greatest adventure
there is.
a very dear girl i know* who can be introduced here: http://ggirlc.tripod.com/ wrote the following in reference to herself, yet, she also generously though perhaps unknowingly described me too:
".....you could say that submission possesses entelechia (an essence) pointing toward a telos (a final cause or end).
Because there is a teleological context for submission, it transcends a whole life. For example, I ultimately submit to God.....
I also think that submission is a gift given to me as much as one I give to another. It is an opportunity to trust, to have
faith. So, when I submit to another, I believe that I am ultimately submitting to God. I ask God to “speak to me”
through this person. Submitting to another provides a tangible way for me to submit myself not only to one I trust but beyond
him to One I trust even more and so it is something that I treat with the utmost respect."
*in fact i've modeled my page after hers... seeing no need to re-invent the wheel here, and dear
friend i thank you so very much. you are my inspiration.

The journey to sexual awareness and freedom is difficult, and
the desire to surrender can often be overwhelming. Yet for any woman, the need to submit, to surrender, to place all your
trust and faith in another is a natural and useful instinct despite claims to the contrary by the prevailing culture. Women
are persistently urged to believe that submission equates to subservience, instead of simply describing a role in a relationship.
The fact that during the course of human history most relationships have been defined by the dynamic of submission and dominance
is lost on those who live unhappy lives of marital stress and personal dissatisfaction and can't figure out why. (C.P)

often times, i find myself wanting to be this verse from the book of Psalms in the Bible, "Be still, and
know that i am God."
other times, i am with another verse also from the book of Psalms, "Keep traveling steadily along His pathways
and in due time He will honor You with every blessing."
It is my sincerest hope and dream that i may share the love and comfort that i have found with others.
